the list) enable an On/Off pulse-cycle. See
"Cadence".
Tip: To invert a function (i.e., have the output trigger
whenever something is NOT in effect), right-click the
function and select "Toggle Invert".
 Target Item
: This is the specific item associated
with the desired event
(e.g., Area 4, Front Door, Suite 705, Function Key
#3, etc.);
Function Keys
: Since function keys 6 – 9 & 0 can be
set to require a user-PIN,
you may wish to reserve these keys for more critical
functions.
 Event
: This is the specific event/condition that will
trigger the output;
 Output Action
: This is how the output will respond
when triggered (i.e., for so many seconds, or while
the condition remains in effect, etc.).
 Mapped Input
(optional): Click the double-arrow
symbol to select an input point to be tripped
automatically when the event described by the
output equation occurs.
Tip
: The mapped input point, in turn, can be set for
the desired signalling/reporting (and/or command)
operation like any other input point in the system.
ATTENTION
: The mapping of inputs works in
parallel with normal (hard-wired) operation, such that
the input must be wired/terminated correctly (or
configured as a circuit-type that will take its present
state as 'normal').
Event Types and Events:
In general, event selections appear in plain
language, and are generally obvious in
function. Some notable exceptions and terms
are listed here:
 Activity Detected / Not Detected: Pertaining to
activity detection (V4.2) in an area via custom
"Activity Monitor" points, and area activity-tracking
settings. (Ref:  Configuration Custom Point
Type "Preprocess = Activity Monitor";
 Configuration Input Points "Point
Type = MyCustomType";
 Configuration Areas  Activity ).
 Cadence selections (System - Cadence...): See
the "Cadence..." topic, to follow / below.
 Counter reaches min (or max): Pertaining to user
counting (V4.2).
(Ref
: Configuration Areas Counting ).
 Digital: Dial-up modem communications.
 Failed to Close: A scheduled area not set to auto-
arm was not armed manually at the scheduled
time.
 Force Arm: Pertaining to arming while a
point/sensor is tripped (or tampered).
 In Window / Out of Window: Simplistic: Working
hours vs. after-hours. Detail: Pertaining to during
vs. outside of the active/valid times of a schedule.
 Pseudo: Internally-monitored conditions. (Ref:
Configuration System Equipment).
 SIP: Reporting to a central station via IP.
 SNAPP: Module communications bus.
 Version E: This indicates conditions pertaining to
European monitoring requirements.
Output Action:
 "Normal": Relay follows the event--Positive
trigger (normally 0V/Low, goes +V/High
when triggered);
 Green "+" durations: Timed--Positive
trigger (normally 0V/Low, goes +V/High for
selected duration when triggered);
 "Inverted": Relay follows the event--
Inverted (normally +V/High, goes 0v/Low
when triggered);
 Red "-" durations (with underscore "_"):
Timed--Inverted (normally +V/High, goes
0v/Low for selected duration when
triggered);
 "Toggle": Changes state until next trigger.
For a Point Expansion Module with Physical Relays:
In the description above, "0V/Low" will pertain to "relay
not energized", and "+V/High" will pertain to "relay
energized".
Also See
: "Cadence (Getting the Output to Pulse On
and Off)", and "Equations with Cadence (pulsing)",
both to follow / below.
Commands (when you right-click an item):
 Toggle Invert: Inserts (or removes) a "NOT"
("Not means whenever the chosen condition is
NOT true);
 Insert Operation (on left / on right): Inserts a new
segment to allow building complex output
equations (see below);
